A Sympathy Card

Recently the husband of a very very special aunt died.They had been married for 62+ years.I wanted to do something extra special for mydear Aunt Donna.

Rust and cream are the colors.I used a scrapbook paper under the stamped phrase.The frame was created with two Spellbinders diesused at the same time and then embossed.Rusty Hinge Distressed Ink was usedto sponge the outer and inner edges of the frame.

The Cheery Lynn butterflies are cut fromcard stock that has been stippled withLumiere paint.I brushed it on first and then quickly stipple dabbedmore of the same color on to remove the brush strokes.

The flowers and leaves are Punch Bunch punches.The flowers have been shaped.The leaves have been lightly spongedthe Rusty Hinge Distressed Inkto tone down the green.It also blends the whole of the card together.

The lowest cream layer has been texturedin an embossing folder.K & Company scrapbook paper was usedunder the phrase.

This is me!

This blog has been a way for me to share my love of paper crafting. If you scroll down through the posts you will note that a lot of the cards have scripture quotes as their focal point. So it is in my life, God is my focal point, then the rest falls into place.
Occasionally I also share parts of my life as a woman who has always lived on a ranch. The daily presentation of God's glorious creation are a constant source of praise and pleasure for me. Please enjoy your time on my blog and leave a comment. I love the comments.
